Windows Media player autorun issue

Asked By Marc A White 30 points N/A Posted on - 10/07/2013

Hi,

When I trying to view a DVD, autorun does not start and the DVD will not play. But when I double click to open the DVD all my files are seen intact, but when I click on any of them, I get an error message. Please help?

Windows Media player cannot open the file. The player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.
